You're Fired!

The pottery sessions are coming to an end and all I've got is a crazy schedule back at work. No time to update the blog with the pictures of my hard work. No time to even see my own glazed work back in the studio :'( Believe me that's super sadening.

However, this is not what this post is about. No cribbing. *Promise*

The first round of firing has been done and dusted and oh boy! am I happy?! :D :D
Call it my premature happiness or the philosopher in me talking..whatever-happens-happens-blah-bleeh. Irrespective of the glazed version surviving or not, I'm happy now. I'm happy with what I've done with that piece of clay. I'm happy all the train travels on weekends paid off.

The Glaze

Swati's Couch Dabba

Swati's & Sweety's. The jinxed long nose had to face a tragic end though.

Sweety's plate.

And the Homework wall :D

It is. I hope.

Is it normal? Wanting to go in the mountains all alone?

Switch your cell phone off and just walk. Alone. Is it normal? 

Wanting to quit your job and just learn something new. 

And then worry about not getting paid? 

Is it normal to have a thousand awesome thoughts and not executing even a single one? 

Is it, then, normal to imagine that one of those awesome thoughts have materialised & get back to your real-time normal self? 

Is it normal?

Look Maa..Tomatoes!

There really is something about home-grown vegetables. Firstly, you don't feel like eating them :D And secondly, the fingers don't stop clicking them. My first set of tomatoes, almost ripe! Woohoo!!

Not done with the clay yet ^_^

Hand-built Clay box, vases & cylinders. Eagerly awaiting to see what it looks like post glazing and firing.

Clay Lau

There has been a lot happening lately. So much that the acrylics and the canvas has taken a comfortable back-seat for some time now. And you won't hear me complaining!

So what's new?

OOooo now where do I begin from.Well, this started out of a phase I and a friend of mine were going through i-wanna-do-something-awesome-but-i-have-no-effing-idea-what.

So after a week long research on the internet and a couple of phone calls later, from ruling out kathak to cocktail-making we landed here! AHM Ceramics. (till date I don't know what ahm stands for). I will eventually though :D

Here's something I recently made. A box. Very much functional. Just hoping and praying it comes out safe after it is fired. Because from what we have been told, one should never have high hopes. One nasty air bubble in there & c-r-a-c-k goes the hard work :'(

And it gets better when you have company. I can't take credit for the snake bowl by Swadi (yes, those are snakes on top) and the little cute one in the front by Tweety.

 

The not-so-happy-feet post the sessions

More to come in the coming weeks. Though I admit I crib a little sometimes because I have, sort of, ruined my weekend sleep and I travel farther than what I do for my job on weekdays. But its clay we're talking about, and you can't stay mad at them for too long, can you?
